    Got a CX-3 or thinking of getting one?

    My wife is considering one. She is coming out of a MINI Clubman so the size will actually a bit bigger. The bad thing is, she likes it in Soul Red so it will be parked next to my Soul Red CX5.

    Compare CX3 with CX5

    My wife is considering a CX3 to replace her MINI Clubman. Yesterday she was wondering if the seat warmers are as anemic as the ones in our CX5. Anyone have any experience in that?

    Lack of one touch close for the sunroof got me again

    I figured that there was more to it than just a different switch choice. Who knows maybe the lawyers even got into the act with fears of liability. It is a nice feature to have, heck I previously had a car that I could close all the windows & the sunroof just using the key FOB and another where...

    Lack of one touch close for the sunroof got me again

    I know this is totally my fault but after having cars for the last 12 years that had a one touch sunroof close feature I have left mine open on several occasions. It started to look like the rain the other night so I ran out and closed all the windows and I thought the sunroof. We went out to...

    OEM Roof Rack And Cross Rails

    I have the factory rails & crossbars. One thing they may come into play is that cross bars don't spread too far apart. The max distance is 26 inches from center to center of the cross bars when both are slid to front & back.

    How Close is the Cx-5 to your previous LUXURY CAR!?

    I came out of a Lexus IS250 and I find my CX5 better in some ways. We go to Michigan every summer on vacation and we found the overall confort level quite a bit higher. In the Lexus after the 11 hour drive we stiff and sole. We hopped out bright & chipper in the CX5. We do miss some features...

    recent trip, navigation messed up twice

    I agree with the lane guidance. I find that very helpful. I will go in & double check my settings. We did use it in the UP of Michigan last summer and it worked well. I do like the feature of adding audible notices for upcoming POI such as rest stops. I like how you can create your own phrase...

    recent trip, navigation messed up twice

    Thanks for telling me I'm useless. If you need to take maps & print off directions whats the point of the navigation system? I actually typed in the coordinates of the cabin and for some reason it thought the best route was a gravel road barely one lane wide. It is my 4th car with a factory...

    recent trip, navigation messed up twice

    We just got back from a trip into the Hocking Hills area of southwest Ohio and our navigation system on our 2015 misguided us twice. On our way to the cabin instead of it taking us down Route 50 for 10 miles & then a left turn onto Route 93 for 10 miles it cut us diagonally using at first a...

    LED interior lights for new 2016 GT CX5?

    I bought a nice LED kit from Amazon for around $14 for my 2015. It took about 10 minutes to replace all the internal lights. It really makes a difference

    Car just doesn't seem to warm up

    It seems like the heater in my CX5 just doesn't get too hot. This morning on my drive into work it seemed like it was blowing cold air the whole time I keep my car in a attached garage. According to the thermometer in the car it was 40 degrees. The outside temperature was 15. My commute is...

    CX5 Bycicle Transport / Roof Rail vs Back or Trunk Mount

    Just a FYI. If you are talking about just one bike it will in the back rather easily. I bought one of those heavy moving type blanket to protect the interior and it works out just fine

    Folded Wipers, Auto-Start, and Snow/Ice

    I haven't been able to confirm if mine works or not. I was just going on what is in the manual for the remote start "For vehicles equipped with an automatic wiper function, when the engine start operation is activated with the remote control, the wipers will not turn on even when the wiper...
